A good show, well presented, with a strong Australian theme. The dinner and drinks included were good to very good quality, and the meal service was well coordinated and efficient.

Owner description:
Celebrate a tribute to Phar Lap – Hero to a Nation!One of Australia’s most legendary stories is retold as Australian Outback Spectacular celebrates the courageous spirit of the Australian horse and commemorates the legend that is Phar Lap. Australian Outback Spectacular’s ‘Spirit of the Horse’ brings to life this iconic Australian story in a specially designed world class arena. The all new show features an amazing cast of larger than life characters as well as magnificent animals including the spirited Australian stockhorse. The stunning special effects will have you on the edge of your seat as we celebrate the courageous spirit of the Australian horse and pay tribute to the legend that is Phar Lap. The grandeur does not end there as you’re treated to a stirring musical score composed exclusively for the show, as well as popular music composed and written by country music legend Lee Kernaghan. Then it’s time for some fun and games! Australians are famous for their competitive spirit and it’s impossible not to become involved in the competition that develops between stockmen and women from rival stations. Join in the excitement as the stockmen and women test their skill in the race to be champions.

We took our grandchild ( age 11) to the Outback Spectacular and he loved it as much as we did. A great tribute to our Australian ethos. The dinner was average but the quantity was sufficient and the free flowing drinks were welcome. We would love to take overseas visitors there and would recommend it to any tourists visiting the...

This was a great show with some amazing horsemanship. A great sense of outback adventure with humour and a bit of Australian history. Music, theatre, food, alcohol, competition... well worth it. Although we didn't have our kids with us, we would definately bring them here. There were some kids sitting next to us, and one of the waiters noticed they...

This is an amazing show, featuring fabulous horseman on beautiful horses. The current show pays a tribute to Phar Lap, including everything from the jockeys riding around the stadium to the old car the gangsters would have driven. The singing is of a high standard and the set is outstanding for the small arena. The interaction between the actors and...

Fabulous and spectacular show full of great colour movement and music. Special effects are wonderful as is the food and endless supply pf beer, wine and soft-drinks throughout the performance.
It is an iconic representation of Australia's history.
Never seen anything comparable throughout the world.

Whilst the ticket prices probably put this out of the reach of most people with children it is well worth it.
One thing to bear in mind (which we didn't know) was that wine and beer is included in your ticket for during the dinner, and they are very generous with it. We didn't know and bought the buckets of...
